But our hands have kept busy with crocheting Christmas surprises. =) We have a few question for those of you ladies who crochet: how do you finish scarves? Do you do a complete edging around the whole thing? Or maybe just tassels at the end?
Do you have any websites you could recommend, or would you mind sharing exactly what you do for your own? We have been slowly learning new stitches, but we don't know how to do any special edgings or tassels yet, and so we girls would greatly appreciate any ideas or thoughts!

I prefer tassels on scarves...OR if the scarf is the right length - pockets at the ends to keep the hands warm : D
Happy crocheting - I love it I just suck at it.
I like tassels-- the ones where you cut the yarn doubly long and flip it through into a knot-like thing. I'm sorry... I don't know how to describe it very well!
I do both tassels and ruffles. I can take some pictures and give you more specific directions if you'd like...it may be hard to do thought a comment. :)
I don't have any crocheting tips - but I totally understand the regency dress 'fever'! I just finnished re-watching the BBC/A&E mini series and my mind is dancing with all the dresses I would love to copy :)
Thanks ladies, for the suggestions! Tassels it will be! =)
Thanks Rachel, but the mother of a harp student of Erin's told me how she does tassels on her scarves (she is a crocheting wiz and is the one who is teaching us a bunch of stitiches ... by the time we finish up the squares for a blanket we're making, I'd told we would have learned over 60 stitches), and so I'll try that. I just might have fun with it, and add tassels on every scarf in the house whehter they look bad or not. Maybe it will help the overall appearance of them. =)
Erin just finished a scarf for herself using homespun yarn. It certainly puts the one I made last year to shame. (...Oh well, at least it keeps me warm and if it's under my coat, who sees it anyway, right?) Somehow she knows how to get her things looking perfect.
